Everyone at the Bencher table is here because we care and want to make a difference – I’m looking forward to leading these efforts. The diversity of backgrounds and perspectives on the Board will continue to help us navigate some important and challenging work over the next year, including the development of a new Strategic Plan, our ongoing strategic work and upcoming fall Bencher election.”
